The ESL Pals Listening lesson plan focuses on the topic of friendship, helping learners understand and talk about real-life experiences such as meeting friends, shared memories, hobbies, and future plans.

This lesson plan includes three original audio tracks: two for classroom use and one for homework, although the homework can be used in class too if required. The recordings use natural but simple English, with clear pronunciation and useful everyday vocabulary suitable for A2 learners.

Every lesson comes with a ready-to-teach plan and targeted activities that develop listening comprehension and key vocabulary. No preparation is needed for teachers.

This is part of a growing ESL listening curriculum that will cover a wide range of everyday topics across CEFR levels.
